Illuminated built-up letters are fabricated 3D letters with translucent opal acrylic faces and LED modules inside, so each face glows and your name reads clearly after dark.

What illuminated built-up letters cost in Holywood

Consent for illuminated signs in Holywood
Light changes the consent position. Under Northern Ireland's 2015 Advertisement Regulations, internally lit, halo-lit and lit projecting signs typically need express consent from the council, applied for online through the NI Planning Portal. A listed building usually needs listed building consent as well. LED modules and drivers run at low voltage, but the final mains connection is made by an electrician to BS 7671, who certifies the circuit. Councils commonly refer to PLG05 for brightness and expect steady rather than flashing light. We check before you commit to illuminated built-up letters and can prepare or submit the application.
